SOC 2133 (76% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and KPMG UK is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
In 2025, KPMG UK assigned 66 or more Certificates of Sponsorship for SOC 2133 jobs, according to the Home Office.
This could also be SOC 2131 (IT project managers) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
